Regex to get string before and after a hyphen

aehrenwo
11 - Bolide

I am trying to isolate text that can appear in the following format in a string field. 

 

7-23 or 100-22 or 17-23 --- so the text before the hyphen can be 1 or 3 digits, and the text after is a two-digit number with spaces on either side. 

 

I am hoping the regex for this is relatively simple, but not finding examples when searching.
